“Our Dinner Special Tonight is Donkey Penis”
It is not abnormal to see strange tactics used in Asian medicine, but donkey penis as a delicacy is a new one.
However, the Chinese International Travel Service is trying to persuade tourists to be open-minded, and to try new things when visiting China.
So is this China’s creative way of trying to open up the gap between Western and Asian cultures? It would seem so, as it is not uncommon to see a wide array of unique delicacies offered by street vendors, such as, donkey penises, insects, and strange sea life.
What many are not aware of is the amazing benefits of consuming these unique flavors. For example, eating seahorse is said to be good for men’s kidneys, and many insects help growth in young boys and girls.
So next time you are visiting China, make sure you read the fine print, or you could end up with a donkey penis sandwich for your lunch.
